Women charged after allegedly using man’s ATM card to withdraw $300,000

Two women in St. James, Jamaica, face charges following an alleged scheme to defraud a man by using his ATM card to withdraw a substantial sum of money. Carlisha Dixon, 30, and Tania Simms, 43, both from Copperwood, have been charged with multiple offenses, including unauthorized access to computer data, conspiracy to defraud, and larceny.

The incident reportedly began when the complainant sought assistance from Simms to withdraw funds from an ATM. Sometime later in March, the man discovered that multiple withdrawals had been made from his account over several days, totaling approximately $300,000. He subsequently reported the matter to the police.

Further investigation by the Cambridge police established that Simms had allegedly given the complainant’s bank card to Dixon, who then proceeded to withdraw the money. Both women were arrested and taken into custody. They were subsequently charged after police conducted question-and-answer sessions. Their court date is currently being finalized.
